    (3) Foreign military personnel accredited to joint United States

    (4) Foreign military personnel covered in agreements entered into by

    (b) Care authorized in the United States. Military personnel of 
foreign nations not covered in Sec. 728.42 and their dependents 
residing in the United States with the sponsor may be routinely provided 
only outpatient medical care in naval MTFs on a reimbursable basis. 
Provided, the sponsor is in the United States in a status officially 
recognized by an agency of the Department of Defense. Dental care and 
hospitalization for such members and their dependents are limited to 
emergencies. All outpatient care and hospitalization in emergencies are 
subject to reimbursement as outlined in Sec. 728.46.
    (c) Application for care. All personnel covered by Sec. 728.43 will 
present orders or other official U.S. identification verifying their 
status when applying for care.
    (d) Disposition. When it becomes necessary to return individuals 
covered by Sec. 728.43 to their home country for medical reasons, make 
immediate notification to the sponsoring unit of the patient or 
patient's sponsor with a copy to the Chief of Naval Operations (OP-61). 
Include all pertinent information regarding the physical and mental 
condition of the individual concerned and full identification, 
diagnosis, prognosis, estimated period of hospitalization, and 
recommended disposition. Additionally, the provisions of Sec. 728.42(d) 
(1) and (2) apply.
    (e) Care authorized outside the 48 contiguous United States. Major 
overseas commanders may authorize care in naval MTFs subject to the 
availability of space, facilities, and the capabilities of the 
professional staff in emergency situations only. Provided, the required 
care cannot reasonably be obtained in medical facilities of the host 
country or in facilities of the patient's own country, or if such 
facilities are inadequate. Provide hospitalization only for acute 
medical and surgical conditions, exclusive of nervous, mental, or 
contagious diseases or those requiring domiciliary care. Administer 
dental treatment only as an adjunct to authorized inpatient care. Do not 
include dental prostheses or orthodontia.
